The point X (-3, 6) is a reflection of the point X’ (3, -6). What are they reflected through?

@mathmate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Looks like a reflection across the line y=x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!! Do you know this one ? What is T(-6,5)(-1,-2) @SithsAndGiggles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is \(T\) some sort of transformation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have no idea that is the whole question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What's the context? Do you have any reference to what T could possibly mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a assignment that called translations and reflections

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says nothing about the question though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it ok ill ask my teacher. this is the last

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are 3 ways to denote a translation

OpenStudy (mathmate):

T for translation, with x, y representing the translations in x (right) and y (up) directions. When you have composite translations, add up the x values, for example, T(1,2)T(2,4)=T(1+2,2+4)=T(3,6).

OpenStudy (mathmate):

I could think of two: t:(x,y)->(x+h,y+k) T(h,k) and the third one could be a matrix or vector, such as <h,k>, so that <x,y>+<h,k>=<x+h,y+k>. Check with your teacher. Sometimes notations vary from one teacher to another.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

(x,y)->(-x,-y) is a reflection through the origin, as we had in an earlier problem, equivalent to rotation of 180 degrees. So what is (-3,6)->(3,-6) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you! im not sure what (-3,6)->(3,-6) is can you help me? @mathmate

OpenStudy (mathmate):

(-3,6)->(3,-6) belongs to the transformation (x,y)->(-x,-y) [check for yourself] which in turn is a reflection through the origin, equivalent to a rotation of 180 degrees. |dw:1375483884134:dw|
